1024x600 with e-uae on linux?

[kolla]

I would very much like to get 1024x600 mode on my eeepc-902 - screenmode only shows 800x600 as highest mode. I tried to replace occurances of 768 with 600 on obvious places in the code, and then 1024x600 shows up as mode in screen requsters, but trying to open them ends in:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  145 (MIT-SHM)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_ShmPutImage)
  Value in failed request:  0x400
  Serial number of failed request:  1340
  Current serial number in output stream:  1340

This is with e-uae-0.8.29 from 20080820.

Help?

X server does not understand that resolution. You must put a custom modeline in xorg.conf.

That would be odd, since my X11 desktop runs on 1024x600 just fine, it's what I use all day. I thought the days of modlines were long gone, really.

Are you trying picasso or native modes and what backend do you use. The SDL backend
seems to probe available resolutions for me as some of those lines indicate:

...
SDLGFX: Found screenmode: 700x525.
SDLGFX: Found screenmode: 640x512
...

Probably you could check your commandline. Also I recommend a look at either the -O switch (From cmd-line.txt):

-O
The format to use is: "width:height:modifiers", where modifiers are: l:
Treat display as lo-res, x: Center display horizontally, y: Center display
vertically, d: double line, a: fullscreen Amiga, p: fullscreen Picasso96,
c: Correct aspect ratio

Or the display options that can be set from a configfile (from configuration.txt):
gfx_width_windowed=<n> (default=720)
gfx_height_windowed=<n> (default=568)
gfx_width_fullscreen=<n> (default=800)
gfx_height_fullscreen=<n> (defaullt=600)

Note that it will be somewhat difficult to get proper display on such odd resolutions since there is no scaler support (yet?)...

Thanks - your reply got me to try SDL instead of X11, and then it works fine

It's a tad slower I think, but I can live with that.
